It explains everything right there. If you’re a budding creative, WE WANT YOU.

“Although we are open to submissions of all types, it is always better to contact the editors before submitting a lengthy work so that we can provide you with suggestions as to what can be published and what cannot. We (attempt to) maintain a consistent style – it may be a good idea to read a copy of Tharunka before submitting for the first time.

Tharunka is also accepts visual submissions, including cartoons, comics, photographs and collage.

If you’d rather not submit a longer piece, perhaps you can write us a letter.”

So get cracking! Everyone loves a free byline!

It says the victims were mostly Muslim Rohingya, targeted by non-Muslims.
